The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has released the 2016 census data, providing a snapshot of Australia’s population and demographics.
The data has revealed the fastest growing areas in Queensland are outside the capital, a statistic that contrasts with the national trend which shows that two-thirds of Australians live in capital cities which are growing twice as fast as regional areas.
The majority of Queenslanders are aged 15 – 64, the average household weekly gross income is $1,402, up from $1,235 in 2011 and 28.5 % of dwellings are owned outright with 34.2% of Queenslanders renting – 3% over the national average.
